The video shows a landing of the second stage at KSC. Does this indicate that the second stage will have a cross-range capability similar to the shuttle?
Dude, don't get rid of your music bed, just reduce the volume of it...That is all I am saying...It should be in the background to complement your video blog, not be the main focus of your video blog...All in all, it is a decent video...Cheers!
Very informative video! My only critique is for post production: THROTTLE DOWN YOUR MUSIC BED! It is distracting...Otherwise, the video blog is inspiring for what things are to come. I look forward to seeing if Elon and company can make a truly totally reusable launch system.
The problem with re-usability is the same problem the Space Shuttle had: EVERY component will have to be reconditioned and re-certified. THAT is where the added costs come in. 1000 launches is unrealistic.
@erikson22407 *sigh* another music complaint. If you watch some of my more recent videos you'll see that problem has been resolved. But either way thanks for liking my video!
I was very pleased to see you video in my sub box. Like always worth the wait. About the music it's not why I enjoy your videos but it is nice to have it in the back ground. I would suggest removing it when your interviewing someone so everyone is better understood.
In your next vid can you express your thoughts on ESA using the Russians Soyuz rocket in French Guiana and China launching the first module of their station.
When propellant becomes the most expensive component of a launcher, that's basically the milestone when we reach the status of truly being a "space faring" society. At this point in time, SpaceX is undoubtedly the closest we are, and ever have been to that accomplishment.
I really like your videos and your enthusiastic approach to what is happening in space exploration, but I have to say I found the music terribly annoying.
Personally I do not think that such a program as yours needs any music at all, but if you really want to, you might want to choose something a little bit calmer and/or lower the volume a bit. Especially for non native (English) speakers background music can make it very hard to recognize the words if it is too loud.
@thisisnotajoke Your not the first person who has told me that. I worked really hard making that music, and all the background music in my videos, but they all go by unappreciated and unwanted.
So since I've been getting so many complaints I guess I'll stop including music. My hope was that it would enhance the videos and not make them so boring. C'est La Vie.
@OTmikhail I know it can be very frustrating if you put a lot of effort into something and then people tell you that they don't like it. I do not want to dismiss your work (I really appreciate what you are doing), but I really think, that the old music was better. The new one is too "dissonant" to be used as a background jingle imho, it distracts too much. I just checked the last videos (Soyuz/SLS) and to me the music there also appeared to be less loud compared to the new one.
I wonder if brining in the expertise of Jeff Greason w/regards to longevity and quick reuseability of equipment would be an option. I know, he's doing his own thing with microsatellites, but wouldn't it be a great sight of some of these pioneers pooling their ressources and knowledge? Well, one can dream...
Another great video. If they crack launch costs of under $1,000,000 per flight then the whole heavens will open up for humanity. It's an engineering problem and I believe that they will master it given time.
Only problem I see with the re-useable booster idea is that it bears the risk of ending up like the space shuttle: that after each launch, you'd have to pick the thing apart, check every little part by hand, then build it back together. And that would rather defeat the whole purpose of cost-saving. Well, let's see if Elon can do. If there's anybody who *can*, it's him and the great folks at SpaceX.
@WiredDragoon Gravity always wins in situations like this, but I can wholeheartedly when you say that if someone can do it, it wqould be elon and spacex. Even if they fail props for at least trying!

@fvgdfbdokd thats the goal. although they're not giving out any details as to how that will be possible.

Space exploration/travel doesn't seem so unavoidably monopolistic anymore. wow.
btw the music fits really well.
